Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #33.
I think youâll find this issue particularly interesting. Darrell Schweitzerâs historic interview with C.J. Cherryh from 1978 is fascinating, since she talks about her writing process. (If you arenât familiar with her work, youâve missed some of the best science fiction of the last 50 years.). For mystery lovers, we have great tales from Greg Herren (courtesy of editor Barb Goffman) and Patricia Dusenbury (courtesy of editor Michael Bracken), plus a solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles. Our novel, Mission of Revenge, by Edison Marshall mixes many genresâcrime, romance, adventureâŠall set in the frozen north!
Science fiction readers have an original from Nancy Jane Moore (courtesy of editor Cynthia Ward), plus classics by Lester del Rey and Larry Tritten. For fantasy, look no further than âThe Goddessâ Legacy,â by Malcolm Jameson, and the second part of Mel Gildenâs serialized novel, The Case by Case Casebook of Emily Silverwood. Good stuff!
